call me out v. 14.0

[misheard]

Call out one of the characters from my muselist with a starter, a prompt, a general 'hey can we do something with these characters' comment, a smoke signal, etc., and I'll get back to you with some kind of RP thread!

Old CR, new CR, assumed CR, canonmates, AU, crossover, whatever, it's all good.

That might help. But you're really in a tough position. Goodness. That must be a big burden on ya, Master.

Glad I can help.

[gemuinemanagement]

It's been... difficult.

[And thankless work.]

You can just call me Suga if you want. No need to stand on ceremony.

[duranduel]

A-Are you sure...?

[It seems a bit too casual, but...]

I mean, don't want to disrespect ya...

[gemuinemanagement]

'Master' makes me feel awkward.

[He's not worthy of that respect in the first place.]

[duranduel]

I...I don't want to make you feel awkward...

[Aren't mages supposed to love attention and the acknowledgement of power...?]

[gemuinemanagement]

[His personality is much more like a normal person's.]

I don't want to make you feel awkward either. If you'd prefer Master...

[duranduel]

[He is realizing that very quickly.]

No, no! I'm the one who has to do things to make you feel better, so...Suga it is.

[gemuinemanagement]

Thank you.

[After they finish their sandwiches, Suga shows Mandricardo to where he keeps the protective charms. He pulls out a pendant made from a glowing blue stone. The craftsmanship is top-notch - it would make for beautiful jewelry even if it didn't have any other purpose.]

[duranduel]

Ohh...

[He reaches out to take it in hand.]

It's really beautiful...

[gemuinemanagement]

[More compliments... Suga looks away shyly.]

Thank you.

[duranduel]

Um. Yeah. Shame to have to use this for an evil spirit...

[He nods, wondering if he's making it awkward for Suga again.]

How does it work, exactly?

[gemuinemanagement]

You wear it, and if a spirit tries to hurt you, they're repelled and the charm breaks. How long they're repelled for depends on the strength of the spirit.

[duranduel]

That's pretty nifty.

How many of these can you wear at a time? Just one?

[gemuinemanagement]

No, but I only have about three or four ready? They take time to make.

[duranduel]

Got it.

This spirit...is she like...physical? Like does she exist in our plane?

[gemuinemanagement]

She is. So you should be able to at least hit her with any weapon.

[duranduel]

Nice.

[Anything he can hit is good.]

Now, I guess, the big question. Where is she at?

[gemuinemanagement]

The forest behind my house. It's about a two minute walk.

[It's Not Great living with an angry spirit basically in your backyard.]

[duranduel]

Uh...r-right behind ya?

[HELLO?]

[gemuinemanagement]

Yes?

[Is there a problem...]

[duranduel]

You're not puttin' yourself in danger? I mean, that's close...

[gemuinemanagement]

She doesn't leave the forest. If she did this village would have died out generations ago.

[duranduel]

I see...

[It still!! Sounds dangerous!!! SUGA!!!!!!!!!!!!]

How does a spirit like that end up here, though?

[gemuinemanagement]

I don't know.

[If he did have an idea of where the Kotori Obake came from, this would be a very different canon.]

[duranduel]

Huh.

[canon pls look into evil spirit prevention services...]

Have you...talked with her? Can she even be talked to?
